UNSPSC 50332011: Dried organic nectarberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic nectarberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332011 Dried organic nectarberries (Commodity) appears in school nutrition and correctional-facility food service procurement, where state and local governments buy dried fruit as a shelf-stable component of institutional cafeteria and meal programs. Recent solicitations show dried fruit embedded within broader food commodity bids rather than as standalone line items—the code's nominal scope (dried organic nectarberries specifically) does not align with the actual work posted under it. School districts and state corrections departments issue the majority of bids, typically through IFBs with sealed-bid opening on specified dates and firm fixed pricing covering all freight and handling to multiple delivery locations. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products apply across school nutrition solicitations; compliance with USDA grade standards, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million are standard requirements. Vendors must accommodate multiple delivery points, maintain 24-hour emergency stock availability, accept electronic ordering systems, and accept contract terms through June 2027 or beyond with optional renewals at the procuring body's discretion.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requested bids on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five Texas geographic areas with contract term through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) on April 23, 2026, for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with 1,400-box minimum order to the Corpus location illustrates the dried-fruit category at the commodity level, though that specific bid closed February 20, 2026.
